We
set off north again today, destination Santiago de Compostela. In the first
instance we drove to the coast to try and catch a ferry that would take us
across a small gulf so we could take a scenic coastal road.
Unfortunately, with
it still being the off-peak season, it was not running at frequent enough
intervals, so we pressed on, stopping to watch some people haul in some very
reasonable bream-like fish. We stopped for lunch at a seaside cafe and had a
number of small dishes, including what we later found out to be turkey
gizzards. We again followed the coast for some distance before rejoining the
motorway to our destination. Once we had found car parking and set up in our
hotel room, we set out to meet up with Patsy and Philip’s Australian friend
James. James had just this day finished walking half of the Camino de Santiago
walking trail.
We had a drink and then dinner, with James regaling many stories
from his weeks of walking. It was not until 1am that we parted ways. However,
many were just getting started! The town was still abuzz until well into the
morning.
